Lottie's St. Anthony Story
We received this step by step outline of Lottie’s
St Anthony story and are sharing it exactly as received.
Christmas Day (12/25/13)
AM.
• Got dressed and put on two rings- Diamond on left hand ring finger and gold plain one on the pinky finger of the right hand. Very Cold Outside (An important factor)
• Putting gifts/items into trunk of car.
• On the road, looked on my right hand. No ring. Thinking did I or did I not put it on my finger?
• Mentioned to a family member. (Why such thoughts?)
Next Day (12/26/13)
• Upon returning home first impulse—is the ring in its case? No
• Next thought—Why? Possibly in the trunk of cluttered car???
Pledge/plea to St Anthony
• If it is in the cluttered car, please make it “visible” to me.
• In the trunk—two big boxes of “stuff”, shoes, hammer, items, gym stuff. Where to look?
• Also was an empty supermarket bag laying on top of one box that could easily have been discarded.
• I looked into the bag and there on the bottom was my “visible” simple plain gold ring.
Thank you God and St Anthony. I say, one can replace things but not loved ones. The cold temperatures caused the ring to slip off my bare finger into an empty bag. Without St Anthony I doubt I would have found it.
Thank you from Lottie an 84 year old woman in Michigan.
